Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

I'm going to be in the area for Christmas to visit my in-laws. That would be the highlight of my trip to see that bird fly. Or even just to see it in person.

I don't think it is going to be ready to fly in December, but you are certainly welcome to see it while your in town, just let me know when your here.

I can see it now, "Sensei's Aircraft Manufacturing Museum". Your chance to view the place where these designs were brought to life. An opportunity to see a true aircraft magician in his natural habitat, please don't feed the builder, keep your hands inside your pockets at all times, we will not be held responsible for injuries to your pocket book after viewing these aircraft and believing that you can afford to build one yourself.**

**Aircraft kit does not include, gallons of glue, miles of covering, lots of expensive servos, kicka$$ motor and pipes, large trailer to haul it and vehicle capable of hauling large trailer, your mileage may vary, no free passes will be accepted. Use of this kit may result in loss of marital favors, divorce, and / or homelessness, use with caution.

(It should be noted that I would be willing to risk the above, but I can't figure out how to build one of these in a two bedroom condo, I could build it, but I would never be able to get it out the door and would have to sell the condo with the plane in the living room!)

I suppose you'd want me to throw in the chainsaw to cut the wall out as part of the deal.

I finished the canopy splash tonight, and got the plates bonded in the wheel pants. Now I can lay up the cowling this weekend, and get back to finishing beast.

Re: Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

If super lite and big is the direction, would it be better to pull it with a DA-100 with 2:1 reduction and a 34" prop?
Just got my 37% krill 55m. Its landing gear weights about half of the graphtec. 4 layers of 1.5mm ply, wrap with 3-4 layers of carbon, cure in vacuum bag..I think.
